1. Does This Technology Bring You Closer to People, or Help Isolate You?
2. Does This Technology Bring You Closer to Inner Peace, or Make You Feel More Stressed?
3. Does This Technology Add Depth/Joy and Happiness to Your Life, or Move You Towards Superficiality and Anxiety?
4. Does This Technology Make You More Conscious and Aware or More Distracted?
5. Does This Technology Make You More Compassionate, Kind, and Loving, Or More Self-Absorbed?
6. Does This Technology Improve Your Health or Negatively Impact Your Health?
7. Does This Technology Make You a Wiser Person or More Immature?
